Had seen these getting good reviews, your recommendation sealed it. Ordered one and it arrived today. First impressions are good and he doesn’t seem to be able to pull much with it on.Our Staffy pulls like a Thai prostitute, so we got her a Rabbitgoo and when the lead is fastened at the front it makes a huge difference

It doesn't work if the lead is fastened on top Al (that's what we found). With the front fitting, the mutt pulls and has to turn sideways, which confuses them (and me)
Yep
The handle on the back is handy too, if I see a cat before him can grab it and stop him jumping about like fool.
(Haven’t tried picking him up by the handle yet, before anyone asks. He’s too tall and heavy).
The handle is great - when our's sees another dog, both of us grab the handle and pray that neither loses their footing
Forgot to mention - the Rabbitgoo does become a bit "whiffy" after a few uses, so ours gets washed fairly regularly - it's at least 2 years old now and still looks good though
Still something wrong with his eye. Tried to cheer him up, but failed.
Ulcer has gone, but he still can’t open it properly.
A week of putting drops in his eye 4 times a day has made him wary of letting anyone near it, so vet couldn’t have a proper look.
Different antibiotic drops to try and if no better will have to be sedated and possibly an operation, if it is ‘rolled eyelids’ or whatever the vet called it.
On the plus side it hasn’t stopped him enjoying a bloody good bounce when he sees another dog while out.
Good luck, lad. I hope the ABs do the trick.View attachment 68072

I have now.
Challenge accepted
The dingus has been to a few socialising classes to try and reduce her reactivity when out on walks.
While she has been fab with the other dogs and we ultimately got what we needed from a couple of sessions, we were a little
sad to be told she can't go back, as she just keeps jumping the security pen to go and check out reception.
Big dogs just tend to stretch the norms I guess, and the centre just aint geared up for her regardless of how soft she is.

Entroption is common in many breeds, and ends up with the eye lids turned in so the lashes drag against the eye and inner lid surface.View attachment 68072

Its not a big operation though there's always a risk with a general. Good luck with the drug route.
We’ve had similar problems with the Great Dane.
How old is yours ?
We’re (stupidly probably) hoping he calms down a bit when he gets older, currently 18 months.
It’s difficult when out to socialise him, especially as he bounces with excitement when he sees another dog. Most people pull their dogs away, the few that have come over he behaves well once they are close.
It’s not getting any better, worse if anything so have started a claim with insurance company and it’s back to the vets.
She is 3 in Feb, but we only got her from rescue in August so most of her formative years are unknown.
She comes across as a big puppy, very bouncy, zero recall, doesnt know her own size/strength when playing, a bit petulant now and again.
Our main concern is the occasional launching at other dogs, but the socialising has led us to feel that its playfulness rather than savagery.
It took 6-8 months to get to this stage with our last rescue Presa, so we are happy enough, but still lots of ground left to cover.
